BEATING-OUT MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 562,865, dated J une 30, 1896.

Application led October 8,1895.

To all whom it 'may concer-nf Be it known that I, EUGENE H. TAYLOR, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Lynn, in the county ot' Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Beating-0ut Machines, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to machines for beating out the soles of boots and shoes, and I have represented it herein as applied to the machine shown in Letters Patent No. 3S4,893, issued January 19, 1888, to J. C. Outcheon.

By means of my improvement I do away with the necessity of moving the slide which carries the shoe-supporting jack tothe front of the machine and back again by hand, as shown in the machine referred to. I accomplish this result by causing the slide to be automatically thrown out to the front of the machine into position for the removal of the shoe after it has been released from pressure, and to be also thrown back again under the mold after another shoe has been placed upon the jack and the machine has again been started. Y

The Cutcheon machine above referred to is d upleX, that is, it is provided with two molds, two jacks, and a common mechanism for operating the same simultaneously, so that when one shoe is under pressure the other one is in a position to be removed from its jack and to be replaced by another. Inasmnch, however, as my automatic mechanism, when placed upon a duplex machine, may be applied in precisely the same manner to each halt` of the machine, so as to operate each jack independently of the other, I have not thought it necessary to show both halves of the complete duplex machine, but have illustrated in the accompanying drawings one-half of a machine built substantially in afcordance with the Cutcheon patent, showing also my automatic throw-out applied thereto.

In said drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of a beating-out machine with some parts of the mechanism omitted and broken away in order to better illustrate my improvements. Fig. 2 is a section taken on line x o; of Fig. l, looking from the rear of the machine. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken just above the jaclocarrying slide and looking downward.

Serial No. 565,039. (No model.)

Fig. et is a horizontal section taken on the line y y, in Fig. l.

The parts of the mechanism which move the jack up and down beneath the mold are lettered to correspond with the same parts, as shown in the Outcheon patent, A being the framework of the machine, F the table which carries the jack-supporting slide, H the jack-supportin g slide, H" the jack, and I the mold. The table F is provided with slides c', which move up and down upon the guides D. The table is moved up and down by means of a toggle mechanism consisting of the toggle-link M, pivoted at its upper end to the table and at its lower end to the togglelink N, which latter is pivoted to the framework of the machine, and also to a link N2, the lower end ot which is provided with a box 71 which embraces the crank 71: of the shaft O. This shaft is .provided upon its outer end with a gear O', which meshes with the pinion O2 upon the driving-shaft P. Said drivingshaft is provided with a frictionwheel, driving-pulley, and brake-shoe, and

a treadle Q2, and cams opera-ted thereby are used to start and stop the machine, all sul stantially as shown and described in the Cutcheon patent, to which reference is made for a fuller understanding of these parts, theyT forming no part of the present invention.

To the machine as thus constructed I add a vertical shaft l0, mounted near its lower end in a journal-box Il, pivoted to a crosstie l2, secured to the framework of the machine. At its upper end the sha-ft 10 turns in a box 13, secured to the table F, and a pinion la is mounted on said shaft, being splined thereto, as shown at I6, whereby it may be made to slide up and down thereon by being coniined between the box I3 and a plate 15, bolted to the top of the table F. Thus while the pinion is allowed to slide up and down on the shaft, it is prevented from turn ing independently thereon. The jack-supporting slide H is provided with a rack, as shown, which meshes on the pinion let.

The shaft IO is provided at its lower end with a second pinion 17, which meshes with the teeth formed on a segment 18, which segment is pivoted at I9 to a guide 20, corresponding in its general outlines and dimen- IOO from the mold a suicient distance.

sions with the segment which slides across The parts are so adjusted that when the table F and its jack are in their highest position, as shown at Figs. 1 and 2, that is, with the shoe pressed against the mold, the segment 18 has reached the limit of its forward movement and the jack-supporting slide I-I has thereby been carried back into the proper position ndirectly under the mold. \Vhen now, the operator starts the machine by depressing the treadle, the shaft O revolves and with itthe cam 23. The segment lis thereby moved backward, the shaft l0 is caused to revolve in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. l, and the jack-supporting slide is thrown forward to the front of the machine. The machine now stops and the jack remains in the proper position for theremoval and replacing of the shoe until the machine is again started.

In order to insure the proper clearance of the jack from the mold, the groove in the cam is so shaped that the sha-ft 10 doesnot revolve until after the jack has moved away By my automatic mechanism as thus constructed, I not only secure the moving backward and forward of the jack-supporting slide I-I without any intervention or efort on the part of -the operator, but I also provide against the accidental displacement of the jack fromits proper position when it s being' pushed up by the toggle, mechanism against the mold.

While I have shown and described my improvement only as applied to a duplex machine, it is Obvious that it is equally applicable to a non-duplex machine, or to a singlesection machine, both well known in the art.

I claim as my invention l. In a beating-out machine, an automatic throw-out for the jack or last, comprising a jack-carrying table, a jack-supporting slide thereon, a shaft, a pinion splined thereto and arranged to move up and down with the jackcarrying table, a rack upon the jack-supporting slide, meshing with said pinion, and means for automatically rotating said shaft during the proper period of vertical motion of the jack-carrying table, all substantially as described.

2. In a beating-out machine of the character described, an automatic throw-out for the jack-carrying slide, comprising a jack-carrying table, a jack-supporting slide thereon, a shaft, a pinion splined thereto and arranged to move up and down with the jack-carrying table, a rack upon the said slide which meshes with said pinion, a cam secured to the drivin g-shaft of the machine, and means operated by said cam for automatically rotating the shaft, all substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name this 28th day of September. 1895.
